VIDEO: Bronx Man Gets Knocked Out, Then Robbed By Bystanders
by SandyMaloneA Bronx man remained in intensive care after he was attacked, and then robbed, in a city crosswalk.
Bronx, NY – Instead of helping a man who had been knocked unconscious in the middle of a crosswalk on June 18, several New Yorkers picked his pockets while his assailant snapped pictures of his handiwork (video below).
Police have arrested 22-year-old Luis Rivera, whom they believe was the man featured sucker-punching 37-year-old Fernando Levano in surveillance videos from nearby businesses, the Daily Mail reported.
The attack occurred at about 6:11 a.m. at the corner of Aqueduct Avenue and Buchanan Place in the University Heights section of the Bronx, police said.
In the video, Levano was crossing the street when he was approached by two men, one of whom punched him in the head.
The victim fell to the ground unconscious, and initially, Rivera and his companion walked quickly away.
Bystanders approached the victim, the video showed. But instead of rendering aid or calling for help, they rifled through his pockets and stole his cell phone.
Then, to add insult to injury, Rivera reappeared in the video, as Levano laid unconscious in the street.
Rivera approached Levano and got a good look at him, the video showed. Then he squatted down next to his unconscious victim’s head and took pictures of his handiwork.
Afterwards, video showed Rivera and his companion exchanged a high-five of celebration.
Levano was eventually transported to St. Barnabas Hospital where he remained in serious condition with a skull fracture, the Daily Mail reported.
His attacker has been arrested and charged with assault. Rivera remained in police custody.

Jul 4, 2018 You are a joke. BLM don't do sh*t but look for trouble so they have something to protest about and be on TV.
angeleyes
Jul 2, 2018 the "passerbys" should be turned in and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and so should the ones who assaulted the man.

Jul 2, 2018 @Hi_estComnDenomn - I developed a new way to block people like you. It's called "stop responding". Genius! This will be my last comment to you, Felon. Have a nice life tainting other peoples food and sucker punching old men.

Jul 2, 2018 @Hi_estComnDenomn - really, stop stalking me...it's getting a little creepy.
Hi_estComnDenomnn
Jul 2, 2018 That leads people to believe either you're mostly pussy, or the bad ones are good.
Hi_estComnDenomn
Jul 1, 2018 @LEO0301 You don't have to convince me of anything. No cop in person or otherwise can ever answer that question. You guys are afraid of something, though its not logical to be afraid since you claim the vast majority of you are good and we have whistleblower laws in place for your protection. That leads people to believe either you're mostly bad, or the good ones are pussy.

Jul 1, 2018 @Hi_estComnDenomn - look, I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you of anything. Also, I really think you should stop stalking me.

Jul 1, 2018 @LEO0301 Also, you say you know many officers who have called out bad cops. That's great, but i don't know that many. And that's my point. Cops that don't call out bad cops *publicly* are pussy and are almost as accountable as bad cops. What do they have to be afraid of?
